My heat shield fell down and has been rattling on my exhaust. This was annoying so I decided to fix it.

Step 1 - The beginning.

Kinja'd!!!

On this side the rivet had simply come out. Slap a new rivet in there and it’s like OEM quality instillation.

Step 2 - Simply and add lightness.

Kinja'd!!!

I don’t know what this clamp was supposed to be doing but it clearly isn’t doing it an longer.

Kinja'd!!!

Gross.

Step 3 - A wild setback appears.

Kinja'd!!!

The end of the bracket has broken off and this hole will not reach where the rivet goes.

Step 4 - Fabricating.

Kinja'd!!!

Cut out a chunk of license plate and drill two holes in it for rivets.

Step 5 - It’s over!

Kinja'd!!!

One rivet to connect my bracket to the heat shield and one to connect the whole deal to the car.

This is an exhaust clamp. Mine fell off too and now I use pipe clamps.

I know its an exhaust clamp. I’m not sure where is was supposed to be clamping on the exhaust as it was just kind floating around.
